I made a more headway on the turboshaft component blueprints for the Enterprise-refit recreation deck from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (TMP). These are a new pair of 2D blueprints I have created from a portion of the 3D model I have been working the past month or two, based on an image of the actual set blueprints I managed to get a decent image of awhile back.

As previously mentioned, this is being added to my online wiki database, Starfleet Logistics, for all the in-universe “Federation” objects and design work I generate from my Enterprise and TMP related project(s).

The first new set of drawings is the turbolift shaft casing bracket which are part of the two turbolift shafts which appear at one end of the Recreation Deck of the Enterprise as seen in TMP. These brackets are basically the frame which connects the turbolift shafts to the rest of the back wall components.

Below is the PDF file of the casing bracket drawings (FSN 3965-001-000-2172):

The second set of new drawings are the turbolift shaft casing collars. This is the ringed section oft he shaft casing which wraps around and hold the ten (10) casing panels (FSN 3965-001-000-2141) which form the walls of the turbolift shaft. This particular version of the casing collar are “plain” in that the mid-section fo the collar is solid. There is another version of this collar which has a lighting soffit in it, which lights up when a turbolift is stop at a station. These are seen on the turbolift tube casings in the matte painting sketches of the cargo bay down by Andrew Probert.

I have one more set of drawings left to create to complete the turbolift casing components which appear in the back wall of the Recreation Deck of the Enterprise as seen in TMP. That is the light panel inserts which fit into the casing panels. I may know out the lighted variant of the casing collar I previous mentioned as well, and get that out of the way.

Then back to 3D modeling the balconies on both sides o fate back wall section, then the balconies that are against the outer saucer rim bulkheads where the observation windows are. Then the planter/terrarium enclosures, working out the ceiling configuration as well as the floors, which would include the steps down into the display alcove where the images of previous vessels named Enterprise are on display, which are featured and mentioned in dialogue as well, in the film.
